Commercial Space and Water Heating Rebate

The Commercial Space and Water Heating Rebate encourages the use of high-efficiency equipment to maximize energy cost savings while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SaskEnergy, in collaboration with SaskPower, is offering rebates based on the type, efficiency, number of units and size of the equipment installed in commercial buildings.

Offered by SaskEnergy Incorporated

Amount

Rebates are calculated per eligible Unit: Furnace (replacement only): $325 per eligible furnace Condensing water heater (replacement only): $5 per MBH, to a maximum of $10,000 per building Rooftop unit (replacement only): $60 per ton for units 5.4 to 20 tons Variable speed ECM pump (replacement only): $30 per unit under 100 watts; $0.40 per watt for 100 to 1,500 watts Boiler plant (replacement or new construction): $750 up to 300 MBH plus $3 per MBH above 300 MBH, to a maximum of $35,850 per building or property Tankless water heater (replacement or new construction): $1,000 each Infrared tube heater (replacement or new construction): $600 single stage; $1,000 dual stage/modulating; $1,200 condensing HRV/ERV (replacement or new construction): $0.75 per CFM, up to $5,000 per building or property Projects with an estimated rebate of $7,500 or more may apply for optional pre-approval.
